Dwayne Johnson's earthquake film San Andreas is set to shake up the box office, when it is released in cinemas in 2015.

The film, which stars Dwayne as a man who has to make the treacherous journey across the state to rescue his estranged daughter when the earthquake hits California, has set a US release date of June 5, 2015, reported Variety.

San Andreas is directed by Brad Peyton, from a script written by The Conjuring's Carey Hayes and Chad Hayes.

Shooting is scheduled to start in April 2014.

San Andreas will face competition from Fox's animated supernatural comedy B.O.O: Bureau Of Otherworldly Operations, which will also be out on the same date.
